It basically translates your HRV into a recovery score. You can track your HRV on an Apple Watch with no monthly sub. Look at your HRV at night while you sleep and see how it tracks day by day.
I have a 20% off Whoop accessories for my birthday I don’t see myself using. Whoever wants it just let me know and I’ll dm the code.
I’ll take it if still available. I could use a new band.

The Whoop Strength feature has been fun and I enjoy it, but it’s algorithm is a mess.
“This is the first time you did barbell squat in the last month.”
Buddy, I did it 7 days ago.

Are you going in and creating your own workouts? I usually just type it up in my notes app (I want to try writing down so I can truly keep a log, but haven’t). I spent 30 minutes trying to create a full workout in their strength trainer and finally said screw it and went back to the notes.
Yeah. It was definitely annoying to set up, but after that it’s much easier. Can revise reps/weights and save updates post workout.
It’s not perfect though.

Maybe I’ll have to go back in and mess with it, I found there were a couple of exercises I like doing that weren’t in there (or under a different name and I’m an idiot) and just kind of got fed up.
Do you feel like there’s a strain difference using strength trainer compared to just logging a regular workout?
I’m also having to use “Other” for a few lifts which surprised me. The most surprising was Floor Press. They didn’t have Floor Press in there when I first set it up. Not sure if they’ve added it yet. I should look… They also didn’t have Frog Squats. I know there were others too, but Floor Press was shocking.
There is 100% a difference in strain and I feel it does a good job calculating relative to what I feel it should be.
Example, upper body push type days are always lower than leg day which makes sense given how many more muscles and more complex the movements are for leg day versus benches/presses.

I’ve noticed a more accurate strain. I think it’s doing some calculation magic with whatever activity you’re doing and how it changes your heart rate; as opposed to getting HR zones like cardio.

That makes me more motivated to go through the process of setting up workouts in it. I typically just randomly pick lifts based on what I feel the day before, so I may just have to go through and create a bunch of different ones to start.
I learned seconds ago that I can apparently share workouts via text or QR code.

Now that is something I would be interested in doing within the refuge. Will send a dm to you.

My 5.0 to 6.3 strain weights sessions became 10.7 to 12.3 when I started using Strength Trainer.

I am trying to make sense of something very good I did yesterday.
I got home from an overseas trip the day before with a three-hour time difference, so sleep hasn’t been ideal. I only got 5h30 last night. And jet lag is meant to crash HRV.
All I can think is that I ate dinner at 6pm and didn’t go to sleep until about 12.15am. I usually eat about 7 and go to bed at 9.30.
I didn’t drink enough water and I didn’t take any magnesium or CBD. I have no explanation other than the time between last meal and bed.
Could be as simple as the foot. Seems like a pretty easy step to replicate
Looks like whoop journal updated, and now is something that you fill out end of day for that day, instead of in the morning for the previous day? Not sure if anyone else is seeing a different journal as well.
